The basement and cellar pilot passed in the State Budget will advance important safety improvements in 15 Community Districts, but arbitrary geographic exclusions will hamper the program and leave many tenants & homeowners vulnerable. Our full statement: bit.ly/49OeMRc

The DOB proposed rule for the basement pilot is finally out, but as @hslatkin of @chpcny says in @THECITYNY today, “This rule, as it is outlined here, would ensure that no one registers.” BASE is eager for the program to launch, but we must get the rule right first. Read more:

A program meant to allow homeowners to transform unauthorized spaces like basement apartments into above-board units is coming under fire for “cartoonishly absurd” proposed rules. thecity.nyc/2025/12/08/bas…

City officials have drawn up new rules to make basement apartments legal in New York City. This allows what has often been referred to as “mother/daughter” homes to be made into legal two-family residences.silive.com/news/2025/11/n…

We are heartbroken by reports of the two fatalities in basements following the heavy rainfall yesterday. See the BASE Coalition's full statement calling on the city to launch the basement and cellar conversion program without further delay to help prevent future tragedies.

The basement apartment safety program authorized last year was a huge step forward, but it left out some of the neighborhoods where upgrades are needed most. We urge the passage of @CMSandyNurse & @CMShekarK's resolution and @SalazarSenate & @votejgr's bill to expand the pilot!

"By refusing to include the hardest-hit neighborhoods in the revamped pilot, New York State is complicit in the ongoing danger facing these residents," write @CMSandyNurse and @CMShekarK. "Basement safety is not a luxury, it’s a matter of life or death." bit.ly/3TYX0FH

Extreme weather is a part of New Yorkers new reality. As our environmental and housing crises collide, those living in basement apartments are most at risk. @CMShekarK and I are calling on NYS to expand basement conversion programs across flood-prone communities like ours.

Experts say that without proper implementation, new rules for basement and cellar units could push vulnerable tenants and landlords further underground: bit.ly/45fcfAs

And today the Council introduced a reso in support of a State bill that would expand the State’s basement conversion pilot, which excluded districts concentrated w/ basement apts. Why? Because their State reps lobbied for carve outs. Which will lead to more deaths.

Thinking about flooding and this ⁦@sssmaldo⁩ story — “city pilot program to legalize and regulate basement apartments and other so-called accessory dwelling units that could have been up and running by mid-June has not yet gotten off the ground.” thecity.nyc/2025/07/14/bas…

Though the law regulating basement apartments went into effect June 16, there is no way for interested homeowners to apply to the pilot program. buff.ly/e12Tovi

The basement apartment program passed last year is a huge step for housing safety, but left out some Queens & BK neighborhoods that need it most. 15+ orgs joined this letter urging NYS lawmakers to pass @SalazarSenate & @votejgr's bill to expand the basement pilot this session!
